The website of Colombia’s largest guerrilla group FARC was disabled by
the German server that had been hosting the rebels’ website the past
six months.
The website had been on-air since December 2006 after the guerrillas’ previous website was taken off air half a year before.
When visiting the FARC website now, a notification says “the website is banned and currently not available” in German.
A ‘whois’ search showed the website was hosted on a German server and registered by Swiss internet service provider Hoststar Multimedia Networks.
The guerrillas used the website for their press releases.
The FARC is considered a terrorist organization by the European Union.
